TIDBIT: PRIME NUMBERS AND CRYSTALS…
September 18, 2018 / /
This is both a fun, and important, article shared by Mr. K.L. that I had to pass along, just for all the numbers geeks out there, and also for all those DNA-as-aperiodic-crystal geeks out there. Have fun letting your mind run with the implications of this one!
Researchers Discover a Pattern to the Seemingly Random Distribution of Prime Numbers

reminds me of an interview of firas zahabi where he addressed the holes in sam harris’ perspective on life the universe and everything. amazing when philosphy majors make a living training fighters. anyway…
zahabi puts forward the perspective that randomness is not a thing. it is simply some data outside our current realm of understanding. aka of even coming up with a model however flawed that describes let alone splains a group of data. so it’s gets called randomness. kinda like relegating all the unknown variables that give the lie to gravity-centric astrophysics theories as due to dark matter. or at least thats the way i remembered the conversation.
Article: “Additionally, the paper claims to have produced an algorithm that ‘enables one to predict primes with high accuracy’.”
I’ll bet the code-breaker types have jumped all over that one. (And the creators/users of ‘unbreakable’ codes based on prime-number factoring are sweating…)
This “Motherboard” article on crystals is a pure gem!
The proverbial “404” comes up w/a horse not found.
Checked home page & pulled up article.
But when clicked on produced above results.
Continue to get “404”.
